His Resignation Accepted.

SpCcldl W III c olODe
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - Commits
sioner Sparks, of the general land office,
received letter from President Cleve-
land about noon to-day accepting his
resignation. Mr.. Sparks resignation
took effect to-day. and. although he was
at the office nearly all day, he did not
attend to current business. This was
done by Assistant Commissioner Stock
slayer, who will act as commissioner
during the vacancy. Mr.. Stockslager,
ex-Gov. Click, of Kansas, and ex-Con-
gressman Coble, of Indiana, are men-
toned as probable successors of Mr..
Sparks, bnt an appointment is not
looked for for some time yet. The eX-
commissioner was asked this afternoon
to furnish the press with copy of the
presidents letter, but declined to do SO.
1.-The letter." he said, "was an auto
graph letter from the president, and
was very kindly i'll tone. The
sentiments expressed were not
only kindly, but appreciative of my
services. l regard this letter as a
purely private communication to me,
and | do not feel at liberty to give it to
the press. 1t is now part of the rec
OrUS OF tnc nlte mouse. anu III tne
president wishes to give it to the news
papers he will do 50. ] may add that l
wish that he would do it. L would like
to have it given the widest publicity,
but it does not accord with my sense of
personal and official courtesy to take
this upon myself. There is nothing in
the letter in the way of criticism, but,
as | said, it is kindly and courteous
throughout"
was the presidents desire not to have
the letter given to the public press to-
night and so Mr.. Sparks courteously
declined to furnish q copy for publica-
ton. 1t will probably be given out at
the executive mansion tomorrow.

Fire on a Steamer.

BosToN, Nov. 16.-Fire was discov-
cred early this morning in the after
hold of the steamer Venetian, loading
at this port for Liverpool, to sail to-day.
The fire is confined to the lower hold and
the general cargo is being removed,
while that portion of the vessel where
the fire started is being flooded with
water. The loss will be heavy, but can
not be aScertained at present. AS the
firemen were fighting the fire in the
hold the smoke became so dense and
the heat SO great that large number
of firemen were overcome and rescued
with difficulty. AS many as twenty-five
of them had to be carried to the open
air, where alEwere resuscitated, and it
is not believed fatal results will ensue,
although number were incapacitated
for further work. The Venetian is the
same ship that arrived here Nov. 10
with fire in the forward hold. The cargo
was then thrown in the sea and the fire
extinguiShed with steam.

him with pair of crushing blows.
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS OF A ROW
to win were shown in the SiXty-eighth
round. The men from weakness fell to
gether, and the McAuliffe party, who
had appealed as vainly to the referee for
fouls as the Carney people, swarmed
into the square. They claimed Carney
had butted their man i'll the stomach,
and il was very difficult to get them out.
Mac wanted to quit badly i'll the next
round, when Carney. who forced him
through the ropes in his own corner,
banged him in the stomach. He claimed
foul, saying that Carney hit
him below the belt. The referee re-
fused to allow it and ordered the men to
fight on. Mac getting a rest in his

in for him, for Carney knocked him
down repeatedly and chased him all
around the ring. Carney knocked down
the posts by which the ropes were
strung around McAuliffe's corner of the
ring, and fell on top of the Brooklyn
boy as he knocked him through the
ropes with terrible body blows. The
owner of the stable, who had once be-
fore asked for order, put a stop to the
battle. The referee refused to to give
decision and said il must be decided one
way or another. He will order the men
together probably this week. McAuliffe,
who was as weak as kitten in the last
few rounds, and claimed that Carney
had injured the groin which gave him
trouble a few weeks ago, ran like deer
TO his room in the hotel as soon as he
knew he wouldn't have to face Carney
any longer. The fight lasted just four
hours and fifty-five minutes.
